The Australian Open 2026 is set for a blockbuster semi-final as Aryna Sabalenka takes on Elina Svitolina, with both players arriving undefeated in the season. The clash promises high intensity, elite shot making, and a guaranteed end to one of the two perfect 10 and 0 records in 2026.
Sabalenka enters the semi-final as the World No. 1 and the only former Australian Open champion left in the draw. The top seed has been ruthless throughout the tournament, not dropping a single set and dispatching her quarter-final opponent Iva Jovic in straight sets.
Her power game has been on full display, highlighted by heavy baseline hitting, consistent serving, and an ability to elevate her level in key moments, reinforcing her status as the favourite to reclaim the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup.
Svitolina, meanwhile, has scripted an impressive run to reach her first ever Australian Open semi-final. The Ukrainian produced one of the most dominant performances of the event by dismantling Coco Gauff in under an hour, extending her unbeaten streak to ten matches in 2026.
At 31, Svitolina is enjoying a resurgence, marked by exceptional return games, tactical discipline, and renewed confidence that has propelled her back into the WTA Top 10 for the first time since 2021. She has also defeated Diana Shnaider and eighth seed Mirra Andreeva on her way to the final four.
From a historical perspective, the matchup heavily favours Sabalenka, who leads the head-to-head by 5-1 and holds a perfect record against Svitolina on hard courts.
Their most recent meetings have underscored the Belarusian’s superiority on faster surfaces, while Svitolina’s lone victory came on clay in Strasbourg back in 2020.
